Marry Me For Money Burgers
TerranUnlike the first date with Hailey, I wasn’t nervous about this one. Those first-date jitters were gone. I was looking forward to a casual evening, spending time with a woman who was fun to be around. I couldn’t even remember the last time I could say that. I couldn’t wait to tell her about my hang-gliding adventure. I was anxious and had checked the clock several times, willing the time to pass faster.I was going to go out of mind if I didn’t find a way to pass the time. I quickly changed into swim trunks and headed to the indoor pool. It had been a while since I’d visited the pool area. When I walked in, there were a few mothers with their kids occupying the pool and deck. I found a lounge chair, put my stuff down, and dove into the water. I spent the next hour doing laps and even played with a few of the older kids who wanted to challenge me to a swim-off, whatever the hell that was.“I’ve got to get going,” I told one of the boys who had just beat me in the race across the
Marry Me For Money Carnival
Terran“I’m so full,” she moaned with a small portion of the burger left over.I laughed. “I bet you are.”She groaned. “But it was so good and so worth it.”“Want to hit the carnival?” I asked, not wanting our date to be over.She grinned. “That would be awesome. I haven’t been to the carnival in forever, and I have on flats.”I laughed. “Let’s go see what kind of trouble we can get into.”As we walked toward the flashing lights of the carnival on the pier, I was tempted to reach for her hand. I wanted physical contact but wasn’t sure she was up for that. I was once again transported back to that nervous boy feeling, not knowing if I should make a move. I couldn’t remember the last time I had been so hesitant with a woman. I was usually confident and so sure of myself and what I wanted. With Hailey, I felt like we were doing a slow dance, every step heightening the anticipation of what I hoped was us getting a lot closer in the physical sense.One of the carnival workers cajoled me i

HaileyHe leaned down, hovering above my face as his green eyes bored into mine. It was a silent question. My eyes fluttered closed, giving him the answer he sought. His lips barely touched mine at first. It was a brush against my lips before he pressed closer, his body touching mine.I pushed against him, wanting more of him. His lips were as soft as I suspected. I opened my mouth just a fraction, giving him the go-ahead to take more. His tongue lazily swooped in, sending a spiral of heat throughout my body. I felt myself pushing against him, my hand still on his chest, gripping his shirt as the kiss intensified.He pulled back, his forehead resting against mine. I opened my eyes and looked up at him. Neither of us spoke for several long seconds. My heart was beating so hard against my chest I was sure he could hear it.“Want to take a walk down to the beach?” he asked in a soft voice.I nodded, his forehead rubbing against mine with the movement. “Can we ditch our fuzzy companions?”
Marry Me For Money Plain Stupid
HaileyWe sat in silence a bit longer, listening to the ocean and the murmur of voices from those enjoying a late-night stroll along the beach. Sitting there with him made me feel like we were in our own bubble. Nothing and no one were in our way. It was a comfortable silence, with each of us lost in our own thoughts.“Have you thought any more about signing on to work with us exclusively?” he asked.I sighed, hoping that wasn’t the reason he was taking me out. I didn’t appreciate the buttering up if that was the case.“No, I haven’t,” I answered, my tone short.He turned to look at me. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought up work. Please don’t think that’s what this is about. It isn’t. I promise. I was just making conversation about your work and plans in general. I’m not pressuring you in any way.”I smiled and nodded my head. “Thank you. I haven’t decided. I’m still thinking about it.”“Okay. We’ll leave it at that.”There were so many things I wanted to ask him about his life, but

TerranTwo Weeks LaterI glanced at the little clock on the corner of my laptop screen. It was almost five. I could pack it up. I hit send on the email, happy to be done with work. I wasn’t usually one to walk out the door right at five, but lately, work had taken a back seat to my personal life. I didn’t want to put in the extra hours. I preferred spending my time with Hailey doing absolutely nothing. I wasn’t jumping out of planes or surfing every day like Zach, but I had found a different way to feel alive and excited about each new day.I heard my phone ringing and smiled. It was probably Hailey, wanting to know if we could hang out tonight. I had been expecting her call. I picked up the phone and was slightly disappointed to see it was my attorney’s number on the screen.“This is Terran,” I answered in my standard business voice.“Terran, it’s Jim. Do you have a minute?”“I do. What’s going on? Did you find the loophole I needed to void those demands?”He sighed. “No, unfortunate
Marry Me For Money It Has To Be Her
Terran“You don’t get to want to talk to her about it. You have to talk to her and see if she’s willing to be your fiancée. I still think you can leave the fake part out of it. If you two have that deep connection, she may be willing to take it to the next level. Women are like that.” He spoke as if he had all the knowledge in the world about such matters.“I know, I know. I will. I’ll figure something out. For now, I want to enjoy the time I have with her.”I took a drink, draining the glass and hoping to drown my worries with the liquor. I felt like I was stuck between telling her and risking her leaving me, which I was pretty sure she would do now that I knew her better, or not telling her and duping her into an engagement. The very thought made my stomach twist into knots.“So, you really just talk?” he asked, sounding confused.I nodded my head. “Yep. I mean there’s been some kissing, but it’s mostly talking. We go out then usually end up at the beach or walking around the city.”

HaileyI slid on my favorite ballet flats, pulled my hair into my standard ponytail, and grabbed my purse to leave. Mandy and I were having dinner together tonight. She had practically demanded it. I had dropped off the radar, and she wanted to catch up. I had felt guilty about ghosting her as she called it. I didn’t mean to. It was just that my schedule and hers rarely matched up, and the few times it did, I had been spending the time with Terran.I wanted to talk to her and had missed her company as well as her savvy advice. There was so much happening in my life that I wanted to share with her. I was confused and excited about my relationship with Terran, if I could even call it that. I needed her advice on what to do. She was so much better at these things than I was.I showed up early to the orphanage on purpose. I wanted to say hi to the kids. It had been a while since I’d seen them. Between work and spending time with Terran, I felt like I had neglected the kids. I waved to the
Marry Me For Money Terran Calling
Hailey“We kiss here and there, but it’s all very innocent. He doesn’t push. We’ve had some pretty hot make-out sessions, but he always stops before it gets anywhere without me saying anything. Honestly, I’ve been bummed more than once by his lack of interest.” “Maybe he can sense it,” she offered.I laughed. “I hope not. That’d be weird.”“Do you think this could lead somewhere, like a long-term relationship or even marriage?” she asked.I shrugged a shoulder. “I honestly don’t know. We’ve never talked long-term. I don’t even think we’re technically in a relationship. I don’t know how you know when you’re exclusive. Can I call him my boyfriend? I mean, when do you know?”She giggled. “I think that’s something you need to talk to him about. Guys have their own way of judging these situations.”“He is such a gentleman. At first, I thought it was a ploy, like he was trying to pretend to be someone he wasn’t. I don’t think that’s the case, though. He’s never slipped up. He is really tha
